The American Heart Association recommends 300 mg of dietary cholesterol per day. One serving (3.5 oz.) of F1-Piedmontese Beef amounts to less than 21% of this daily allowance. Beef is a valuable source of dietary iron, zinc and protein. Being lower in fat means being lower in calories. USDA tests confirm that Piedmontese F1 Beef is genetically lower in fat than other breeds. (USDA MARC GermPlasm Evaluation)
